Harley-Davidson Sportster S RH1250S 2023 Experiences and Expert Review
Poky
The Sportster S returns to the tradition of this model series - yes, it really used to be about sport! That's why the latest American creation, with its 122 hp and 125 Nm of torque, doesn't want to be a cruiser, but instead is almost classless in its pursuit of customers. What is on offer is a wonderful poser bike that is surprisingly easy to ride after a little familiarisation. The single-disc brake at the front has a lot of work to do and the fat 160 front tyre does not steer in quite naturally. In addition, the rider has to cope with a hard suspension and a seating position that is energy-sapping on long stages - which of course doesn't matter at all in front of the ice cream parlour. Electronics and safety are top-notch, which mitigates the tidy price for true fans.
